Step 5, Let The Blocks Begin!

It's up and ready folks. I've tried to keep things as simple as possible in this step, even fewer photos because the more photos I seem to put the more confused people get.You can find step 5 HERE! It is also linked at the bottom of part 4.

I am leaving in the morning to go visit family in AZ! I'm returning Sunday, the 13th....so you will have almost a week to finish step 5 before we move on to the layouts in step 6.

I will be unavailable to answer questions this coming week. There is however, a world wide wealth of knowledge on the quiltvillechat list so if you have any questions, instead of asking me personally, please direct them to the list! I'll check in when I can. There is a link to joining the list in my right sidebar! ---->And here I am, hard hat and all....this afternoon my son Jeff and I went to go choose the granite slab that will be my new counter tops come Dec 15th! It's been a long time coming. The color is called Sapphire Jolie...nice, eh? I'm excited about the kitchen re-do, even if we have to do it just a little bit at a time, this step is a BIG one for me...

You will love the Granite! and you deserve it! I'm so excited the blocks are coming together...I needed to have at least one "looking like a block" when Dh gets home on Friday. (makes him more sympathetic about the fabric strips all over the place!)

Bonnie not sure you got my comment, but I was wondering...I have a gazillion HSTs from the sister's choice that I did in your workshop. They don't finish to 2 1/2 because they were cut offs. Can I still do this mystery and cut my strips down, or would that be awkward to work with? I already purchased the gold and it is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to get started!!!christine
